This week's tutorial:

This fall card features two of the newest memory Box stamps: G1781 Index Card and G1795 Autumn Leaf Collage. This is a quick and easy card!

Stamp G1795 Autumn Leaf Collage on top of the Index Card Image in the same color ink.

Trim the image and adhere to brown cardstock just a bit larger than the Index Card.

Layer this onto a piece of paper from the Nightfall 6X6 collection.

Stamp Happy Fall on a scrap of plain cardstock, adhere to a pice of brown to frame it, and pop-dot it on.

Add a little color to the leaves using a variety of colored pencils in shades of brown.

Happy stamping!

p.s. I'm getting excited about the yard sale next weekend. I made up $1 bags today from my stash of papers, chipboard, stickers, embellishments and more! And I've got about a hundred stamps at $1 each or less. Connie's been bagging up stuff from months and Diane's 300 or so stamps arrived via UPS so there are going to be lots of things to choose from! I can't wait to see what everyone else is bringing to sell! I always find really good deals! Anybody got a Zutter Bind-It-All to sell???
